Motorcycle Thermal Protective Leg Covering

ABSTRACT

A motorcycle thermal protective leg covering for preventing motorcycle related leg burns includes a pair of tubular leg sleeves each having an upper aperture, a lower aperture, a lateral side, and a medial side. Each of the pair of leg sleeves is configured to be worn by a user from the ankle to the knee. Each of the pair of leg sleeves comprises a plurality of layers configured to prevent burns from a motorcycle to the user&#39;s legs. A pair of stirrups is coupled to the pair of leg sleeves and is configured to pass underneath the user&#39;s feet and prevent the pair of leg sleeves from moving. Each of the pair of stirrups has a lateral end coupled to the lateral side adjacent the lower aperture and a medial end coupled to the medial side adjacent the lower aperture.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Descriptionof Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and1.98

The disclosure and prior art relates to leg coverings and moreparticularly pertains to a new leg covering for preventing motorcyclerelated leg burns.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a pair of tubular leg sleeves each having an upperaperture, a lower aperture, a lateral side, and a medial side. Each ofthe pair of leg sleeves is configured to be worn by a user from theankle to the knee. Each of the pair of leg sleeves comprises a pluralityof layers configured to prevent burns from a motorcycle to the user'slegs. A pair of stirrups is coupled to the pair of leg sleeves and isconfigured to pass underneath the user's feet and prevent the pair ofleg sleeves from moving. Each of the pair of stirrups has a lateral endcoupled to the lateral side adjacent the lower aperture and a medial endcoupled to the medial side adjacent the lower aperture.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than thoseset forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to thefollowing detailed description thereof. Such description makes referenceto the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a motorcycle thermal protective legcovering according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the disclosurealong line 3-3 of FIG. 2.

FIG. 4 is an in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through4 thereof, a new leg covering embodying the principles and concepts ofan embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4, the motorcycle thermalprotective leg covering 10 generally comprises a pair of tubular legsleeves 12 each having an upper aperture 14, a lower aperture 16, alateral side 18, and a medial side 20. Each of the pair of leg sleeves12 is configured to be worn by a user from the ankle to the knee. Eachof the pair of leg sleeves 12 comprises a plurality of layers 22 and mayfurther comprise an inner elasticized layer 24, a middle elasticizedlayer 26, a middle thermal resistant layer 28, and an outer thermalresistant layer 30. The inner elasticized layer 24 and the middleelasticized layer 26 allows the pair of leg sleeves to stretch and fitthe user's legs snugly and comfortably. The middle thermal resistantlayer 28 and the outer thermal resistant layer 30 have minimal thermalconductivity to prevent the transfer of heat through the pair of legsleeves 12. The pair of leg sleeves 12 has a lower diameter 32 and anupper diameter 34 and tapers between the lower diameter 32 and the upperdiameter 34 to create a more ergonomic fit. The lower diameter 12 isconfigured to conform to an ankle of the user and the upper diameter 34is configured to conform to the calf of the user. The plurality oflayers 22 is configured to prevent burns from a motorcycle 36 to theuser's legs.

A pair of stirrups 38 is coupled to the pair of leg sleeves 12. Each ofthe pair of stirrups 38 has a lateral end 40 coupled to the lateral side18 adjacent the lower aperture 16 and a medial end 42 coupled to themedial side 20 adjacent the lower aperture 16. Each of the pair ofstirrups may elasticized. The pair of stirrups 38 is configured to passunderneath the user's feet and prevent the pair of leg sleeves 12 frommoving.

In use, the user passes his feet through the upper aperture 14 and outthe lower aperture 16 of each of the pair of leg sleeves 12 with thepair of stirrups 38 underneath his or her feet. The user may then mount,ride, and dismount the motorcycle 36 without worry of burning his or herlegs.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
